New Working Paper: Teenage boys and girls in Norway are more ideologically polarized than ever. Using data for 130,000 high-schoolers over 34 years, I find that a surge in anti-feminism among boys is driving much of the recent trend.📈

You're telling on yourself. Eating out was very much a special occasion for my very middle class family

San Antonio != suburban Midwest

He thinks eating at Olive Garden one day and Chili's the next is rotating cuisines.

Pizza is our Poor Asian Economy food. The chains have figured out how to put together a ton of calories extremely efficiently. Unfortunately, it may be even more unhealthy than street food.

Sanewashing. Your personal opinion is make the public aware. A number of other people have the kill them all opinion.

The normie opinion still lands at pro-growth, just with twists and turns to get there. Broadly, they agree with the degrowth talking points, but anything specific and cost-increasing faces opposition. A challenge with democratic institutions is that it's somewhat hard to explain how it lowers costs.

This is my theory of why foreign-born individuals, who swung far to the right, may have been particularly resonant to a message focused on immigration and economic issues.

Are there any feeds like "Discover But Only People You Follow"? Seeing too much violent content pushed to me on the regular feed from people I don't follow.

(the answer is to fix the issues)

Tankie punks out out out

obviously this is all very much speculation but if true it suggests the shooter was not the victim of his insurer but of provider overtreatment, the thing that everyone was saying didn’t exist two days ago

That's been a conservative argument for years, but this was a progressive falling for the specific claim that Medicare rates mean your anesthesia just stops in the middle of the surgery unless you pay a giant bill.

Do you believe Medicare creates a safety hazard? Because paying Medicare rates is exactly what they were going to do.

Congratulations, you made a company back away from Medicare-negotiated pricing so that the highest paid profession in America can get paid even more. What a win for the progressive agenda!

Not just the lefties, some of my colleagues *in health insurance* fell for it

Real tough talk, buddy, let's see you back it up.

The same people laughing about this also don't care about that crime. The same people constantly claim it's racist to enforce gun control.

Lots of misinformation on govt-sponsored healthcare. People envision it as a magic fix where anyone can walk into any hospital and receive any service they want. There is some understanding of wait times, etc. but still the expectation that govt covers everything, no questions asked.

I should have known we were fucked when my college-educated immigrant coworker went on a random tirade against trans people out of nowhere.

I'll be honest a lot of the "fuck health insurance" posts are full on the fault of the doctor/hospital you want to kill the wrong person in this story man

The general public tends to want it both ways. They sympathize when European doctors say they're underpaid, and also want to pay European prices. Plus the NHS also does care rationing which I genuinely don't think people know, the idea is of a system where you just walk in and get whatever.

In the UK’s health system, rationing isn’t a dirty word The UK has one of the most equitable health care systems in the world. Here’s how.

End of life care rationing: a facet of all healthcare systems, even the socialized ones.

Providers get away with so much bullshit that insurers get all the blame for

If enough homes are built to begin with, no owner has power. If "unlimited PE demand" is an issue then simply tax them to turn it into unlimited PE revenue.

The area I'm still confused about is when you order at the counter but they bring the food out to you. 10%? 20%? What if it's a McDonald's?

Energy permitting is good enough

I don't want to stop renting. I don't want to wake up and find out I'm 10k poorer cause my water heater broke. I don't want to deal with any maintenance at all. I'll keep the apartment.

Absolutely - such restrictions tend to make things worse.

I think this is a key point. It shouldn’t take forever to get construction permits and approvals. Like Kamala Harris said in a speech, it only took one year to build the Empire State Building. It can take longer in dallas doe the most basic building or home
